It is finally time for the first "Show us Your Roosters Party", hosted by Barb at "Bella Vista". I know that a lot of bloggers are going to be there. So after you meet my roosters, make sure to go on over to Barb's and meet the rest of the party roosters!

I didn't think that I had enough roosters to come to the party. I don't collect them or even "look" for them when I am shopping. They don't grab my attention on store shelves, nor do they whisper my name when I pass them. (You would be suprised how many things softly plead with me to take them home. Sometimes, things jump into my shopping cart!!! It is really quite mad.)

I think I still hold a bit of a grudge against roosters. I guess that covers big chickens, too.
A big one chased me when I was just a wee thing! It took like all of two seconds for him to catch up with me, and he pecked me right on the !*#!**%#!! Man, I was so close to safety too!
What was even worse, was that everybody laughed!! (You know who your are!)
So, amazingly a few roosters have come to my house to roost.

Maybe, attending this party will be the beginning of forgiveness and healing!!!

Blue Creek Home Roosters

I just bought this vintage wooden rooster lamp yesterday. I have it in the kitchen.
At first, I didn't care for the shade, but it is beginning to grow on me.

I have had this spatter ware since the 80's.

I picked this little guy up in a hospital gift shop.
FYI - hospital gift shops are a great place to shop. I always check out their end-of-season sales. I have found some really cute things at good prices.

This rooster oil cruet was given to me by a friend

My last party animal is a rooster plate which was another hospital gift shop find.

Hey Rhonda! Love your roosters and had to laugh about teh little story you shared. I'm sure as a child that was a very traumatic and scary thing for you! Bless your heart!

My mama collected roosters, so seeing them always makes me think of her. My oldest sister inherited her collection, so I didn't get any of them. Today has made me a teensy bit jealous that she got them all, but that's okay. I did get lots of other things of her's. :)

Hi Rhondi, I think you have a pretty good collection and they all are so pretty, I had a similar experience growing up being chased by a rooster at my grandparents home, but overcame the fear so much so that I have real chickens on our farm.Blessings,Sue

Loved seeing all your roosters. Thanks for sharing. Does the splatter ware have a mark. It looks much like the Quimper I collect. I'd be curious to know. Hope to see you at hyacinthforthesoul.blogspot.com for some rooster fun at my place. Have a great weekend! ~ Hyacinth

That oil cruet is part of a table set & it is called Roses n' Roosters & it is worth a nice penny. We've sold tons of these R'nR. Love them because of the roses. Have a beautiful weekend. TTFN ~ Marydon

Hi Rhonda, what a great blog you have. I came by to see your "Rooster Party" and saw the REALLY NEAT thing you made from the lamp, plate and cloach - I love it! And the rub on stencil - great idea! You are so creative! I'm adding you to my favorites list!xxxoooMarilyn
